Business can be very personal.

In addition to the “standard” business client, Van Osdol has earned a reputation for representing family-owned businesses and finding solutions for their unique needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. We have successfully helped many family-owned businesses transition ownership to younger generations while being mindful of the health of not only the business, but of the personal relationships involved as well.
